Running on four processors, Deep Shredder 9 is very strong indeed. I installed ShredderClassic for Linux to check out the demo. It is Java based and works fine in my SuSE 10 distribution. Have not had any problems yet. Does anyone know if there is a way to run analysis and save the output to a file? A couple of comments. Stefan was the first to write a true Windows GUI for Shredder while all the others were still running a DOS screen in Windows. Now he is the first (of the commercial distributions) to offer his program on Linux. I adopted Shredder way back when and eventually moved to ChessAssistant as my main program (with the Shredder engine for analysis of course). I have not used either of those programs since moving to Linux but now it looks like the process will start over. If Deep Shredder 9 supports running an analysis session and saving the output to a file, I will purchase it after the holidays. So far I have not been able to determine if this feature is available. If not, I may just buy it to support the Linux development. Steve
